''looks bad for police'' More often than not, whenever you hear of a cold case in which a crime went unsolved it is because a cop committed it and suppressed evidence. At the same time very often when a person was wrongfully convicted of a crime it is because cops suppressed or manufactured evidence or because they forced someone to confess to a crime they never committed. Cops are among the most corrupt forces in society. As Frank Serpico said many years ago, it is corrupt NYC cops who control the drug trade in that city. Without the cops there would be no drugs on the streets. For far too long, too many people have put their trust in the police even though those corrupt cops are the ones who spread drugs leading to many crimes, and they promote racial injustices which cause social division. In the USA we need reform, and I mean MAJOR reform, to change this sad but true fact.

Just three weeks later that same person who questioned police at that community meeting, and his wife, became victims of this serial murderer. Which means this DeAngelo was at that meeting and targeted that local resident for questioning how he was able to overtake two people at once. Scary, this whole case.

I can't help wondering how many of his peers on the force had suspicions but gave him the benefit of the doubt simply because he was one of them. Especially when he was arrested for trying to steal dog repellent and a hammer after detectives stated that they wondered why dogs hadn't opposed him and the victims described him as having a peculiar stench. I wonder if anyone will ever admit that they thought it was him but chose to ignore their instincts because they put loyalty to the uniform above public safety. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that happened.

They found duplicate rape kits, which allowed for more DNA testing (some had already been done, but they needed more). They put the info into a public DNA database and found matches to 3rd cousins. Then, a forensic ancestral researcher worked backwards to find the common great-grandparents. Then, they worked forwards to find ancestors living in California. They had 9 suspects, but from DNA they knew eye and hair color, so they ran it through the California DMV and he is the only one of the 9 who popped. They began surveillance and dug into his background. He had an ex named Bonnie (a name which he had shouted during one attack), a service record in the Navy (the women were tied using a diamond knot- something sailors would know) and a brief history in law enforcement. So, they followed him, swabbed his car door handle for dna and got the match. The full story is quite fascinating. But also shows just how futile their efforts were earlier on before DNA profiling.

@@jccaine7522 They actually investigated several of the 9 suspects. DeAngelo was not the first of those 9 that they focused on since it was thought he was too old to have been the killer. It was the prevailing theory among investigators and online sleuths that he was up to 10 years younger than he actually turned out to be. He was very good at throwing off the investigation with redherrings and had a baby face and high pitched voice.

They need to pull all his cases!

Okay, make a blockbuster movie explaining why it took so long and I nominate Robert Duval as the older man reflecting over his life. He got away with so much, why did the police not make every officer give DNA.

He didn't work with the department that investigated the cases since he never committed any crimes where he worked, at least not any rapes or murders. The cops locally would have little info about the serial rapist in a neighbouring city and so had no reason to suspect anyone. This guy was a chameleon as many psychopaths are.

I believe this monster cop could not have committed the 12 murders and more than 50 rapes from 1974 to 1986 had it not been for the institutional apathy and corruption of the officials in charge of the Sheriff's and police departments in dealing with complaints against police brutality and abuse of power.

Today afternoon, I received a few harassment phone calls in which the caller just stayed on the phone without saying anything. Then in the evening I received another phone call. This time the caller said he wanted to talk to Simon. I asked him who is calling. He claimed that he called from the police association. I asked him the purpose of his call. Then he remained silent and did not say anything as I was saying "Hello. hello, hello...".So I made a statement saying" This is phone harassment. I don't care who you are. Phone harassment is illegal." before I hung up the phone. From the tone of the voice, the man did sound like a cop. I hope he was not stupid enough to harass me with the phone because of my comment scathing the officials in charge of the sheriff's and the police department when the monster cop was able to rape and murder undetected. Any law enforcement officer with a conscience should understand i was telling the truth and appreciate it instead of harassing me out of grudge.

They got him through familia dna. His kids did the ancestor dna thing and the police are allowed to use everyone's samples. So they ran his dna through and got a match. Then they got a recent sample of his dna that was discarded and compared it and bingo! Got him! His kids are cooperating with the authorities. They are adults. I wonder if he got married and had kids and that's why he stopped raping and killing people? Or maybe he was already married and when the kids got older, like his wife didn't need to tend to them at night, he started his crime spree? Soooo many questions! I can't wait for the answers.

I don’t think he could climb Into a window now

... there are millions of potential suspects. They haven't found countless other serial killers because unless a suspicious looking dude happens to live and work right where the crimes were committed or you catch him in the act then its very hard to narrow it down. He didn't live where he committed the crimes, though he later moved there. He was a cop in a different jurisdiction.

The picture of him when he was young doesn’t look like all of the composite sketches, just that one. Also curious as to how they got him. They didn’t get him with DNA...the DNA only proved it was him.

Yunus Ibrahim, some of his relatives submitted their DNA to a company that tells you about your ancestors and can put you in touch with lost relatives who have close DNA. Police had this guy's DNA from crime scenes. They submitted it to the same ancestry DNA company and it matched his family members' DNA, so police knew to look at their relatives. He came to police notice because he is related to those people. Then they got some of his discarded DNA, maybe from a cup, cigarette, chewing gum etc., and tested it. Police said they had surveilled him for 5 days. It's perfectly legal.
